Breaking Free Without Anxiety: A Fresh Beginning

In Düsseldorf, the city is gearing up for the return of kindergarten operations, although the setup will not be a mirror image of the pre-pandemic times. Dagmar Niederlein, the city director, has expressed optimism about the upcoming kindergarten year, citing the current stable vaccination status in the population, tested strategies, and manageable influx into hospitals.

Many children in Düsseldorf have been away from kindergarten for an extended period, and they are now facing a new adjustment phase. Processing fears and worries is a crucial part of this adjustment for children returning to kindergarten. They will need help and support to cope with the consequences of the corona pandemic.

The city is prepared to address the increased demand for care in a growing city. To this end, Dagmar Niederlein is focusing on creating new spots for kindergarten in Düsseldorf. The acceptance rate among kindergarten employees for vaccination is high, with 80% of the city's kindergarten staff vaccinated as of mid-June.

Parents and kindergarten staff are particularly challenged in helping children adjust to returning to kindergarten. Children returning to kindergarten need to learn to deal with group life, rules, and conflicts. They will continue to be tested by their parents twice a week before care.

The city stands by the families in Düsseldorf during the new kindergarten year. Dagmar Niederlein is committed to supporting families in the city, recognising the past year as challenging and stressful for parents, children, and employees alike. Flexibility and quick reaction to changes in the pandemic situation during the kindergarten year are necessary.

New insights into the disease and vaccination of children in the coming months will have to be considered. The city is well-equipped for the new kindergarten year in Düsseldorf, but it is essential to remain flexible and adaptable as the pandemic situation evolves.

  1. To support the children's readjustment to kindergarten after a prolonged absence, it's crucial to focus on mental health, as processing fears and worries is a significant part of the new phase.
  2. Embracing education-and-self-development and personal-growth opportunities, Dagmar Niederlein is working towards creating new spots for kindergarten in Düsseldorf, ensuring a seamless learning environment for children.
  3. In light of the ongoing pandemic, the city continues to prioritize health-and-wellness, ensuring that both parents and kindergarten staff have access to up-to-date information, vaccines, and resources to navigate the new kindergarten year with flexibility and resilience.
